Garden With History

#springitinerary In the mood for a super relaxing spring day? Korakuen Garden in Okayama is the place to be. This place is one of Japan’s top gardens, and when spring hits, it turns into a total cherry blossom paradise. Late April to early Mei is peak season, and the trees are absolutely glowing with soft pink flowers. The vibe here is super chill. Wide open lawns, traditional bridges, koi ponds, and cherry trees everywhere, perfect for a picnic or just a slow, peaceful walk. The view of Okayama Castle in the background adds an extra wow factor, especially when it peeks through the blossoms. If you’re into photo ops or just want to zone out in nature for a bit, this place totally delivers. Whether solo or with friends, it’s one of those spring spots that makes you forget your phone and just enjoy the moment.
